While every case is different, we pride ourselves on trying to achieve the best possible outcome for all of our clients whether they proceed to trial or not. The decision to go to trial is not taken lightly by our office. We engaged in a thorough investigation of the case — gather all the evidence possible and analyze that information to determine the client’s best possible options.

We are proud that our trial record has consistently yielded positive results for our clients. Prior performance is not a guarantee of future results. But that said, we believe that we employ a rigorous system for determining whether a client will prevail at trial or if there are facts that will result in a better plea short of trial.
